what goes on four legs at dawn, two at noon, and three at dusk? 該個謎語還可以這樣說：

謎語采用了描寫其特征的方法，英語中這種謎語被稱為事物謎，也叫做描述性謎語(descriptive riddles)。事物謎的謎面通常是用比喻、暗示或其他方法來描繪所猜謎底的特征，和漢語中物謎的謎面構成及猜測方法基本相同。

2)what starts with t，ends with t and full of t？謎底是“a teapot”。teapot(茶壺)一詞以字母t開頭和結尾，而茶壺里裝的自然是茶(tea)，所以是full of t。3)the longest word in the world.謎底是“smiles”。這個單詞的首字母和尾字母之間是單詞“mile”(英里)，可以理解為首尾間有一英里長，自然就是世界上最長的單詞了。猜這個字謎時，千萬不要去翻詞典去找一個字母最多的單詞。2)what is the cheapest way to see the world？ 謎底是“buy an atlas”。買一張地圖(buy an atlas)就可以見到整個世界(see the world)了。而其實see the world作為一個固定詞組時的意思是“見多識廣”。有些貌似簡單，謎底卻耐人尋味。如：

what goes up and never goes down？謎底是“age”。年齡是永遠向上增長，不可能下降的。還有一些則語出驚人，出人意料，細細品味倒也幽默風趣，讓人啞然失笑。例如：

why should you never marry a tennis player？ 謎底是“because love means nothing to them”。love的通用義是“愛情”，在網球比賽中則表示“零分”。

英文智力謎語中有一類比較難猜，這類謎語是通過篡改英語諺語、成語或名句而形成的，要猜出這些謎語就必須對這些諺語、成語了如指掌，否則，就是絞盡腦汁也未必能猜中。略舉例說明一下：

1)why shouldnt you cry if a cow slips on the ice? 謎底是“because its no use crying over spilt milk.” 英語中成語“覆水難收”是這樣表達的：“its no use crying over spilt milk.”所以謎底就用成語作一戲言，因為母牛摔在地上，它身上的牛奶也灑了。2)whats a sculptors motto? 謎底是“all work and no clay makes jack a dull boy.”

雕塑師(sculptor)的格言all work and no clay makes jack a dull boy.(只工作沒有土，聰明孩子也變傻。)是模仿諺語all work and no play makes jack a dull boy.(只工作不玩耍，聰明孩子也變傻。)杜撰而來。英語100題 簡單題

第三篇：英文謎語趣談

英文謎語趣談

英文謎語同中國謎語一樣有著極其悠久的歷史，其中最為有名的大概是斯芬克司之“謎”了。“斯芬克司”一詞源自希臘語Sphinx，是希臘神話中一個可怕的怪物，它長著女人的頭、獅子的身軀，身上還有兩只翅膀。傳說中，獅身人面的女怪斯芬克司生性殘酷無比，常常守在大路口，讓過往的行人猜一個謎，猜錯了就要被吃掉。有一次，一位國王的兒子被斯芬克司吃掉了，國王一怒之下，發出懸賞：“誰能把它制服，就給他王位。”青年俄狄浦斯(Oedipus)應召前去，很快就道破謎底，斯芬克司便自殺了。這個世界著名的謎語是：What goes on four feet, on two feet, and three, but the more feet it goes on, the weaker it will be.其謎底是Man.Because he crawls first, then walks on two feet, uses a cane when old.因為人在嬰兒時用四肢在地上爬行，成人后兩腿行走，年老后拄拐杖走路，所以謎底是“人”。這個謎語還可以這樣說：What goes on four legs at dawn, two at noon, and three at dusk?

在《圣經·士師記》中有這樣一個故事，大力士參孫殺死了一頭獅子，后來在獅子的尸體里發現了一群蜜蜂和蜂蜜，于是他就這件事編了一則謎語：Out of the eater came something to eat；/ Out of the strong came something sweet.他讓菲利士人猜這個謎語，并允諾如果他們在七天之內給出謎底，就送給他們三十套亞麻布長袍和三十套衣服；如果給不出答案，他們就要送給他這些東西。狡猾的菲利士人讓參孫的妻子哄騙參孫說出謎底。在第七天日落之前，菲利士人把答案告訴了參孫：What is sweeter than honey? / What is stronger than a lion?

上面兩則有趣的謎語中，謎面的構成方法十分類似，都是采用了描寫其特征的方法，英語中這種謎語被稱為事物謎，也叫做描述性謎語(descriptive riddles)。事物謎的謎面通常是用比喻、暗示或其他方法來描繪所猜謎底的特征，和漢語中物謎的謎面構成及猜測方法基本相同。舉例說明一下：

My fatherland is Arabia，Though in England they roast me brown.I'm ground up inside a mill，And tortured with scalding water，And then they pour milk over me，And drink me at their leisure.謎底是“Coffee”。這個謎語用第一人稱自述的手法道出謎面，最后一句則是點睛之筆，使人一下就猜出謎底是某種飲料。

另外一種人們經常見到的英文謎語是字謎(charades)，字謎經常在字母、音節或是整個詞的離合上做文章。字謎的謎面通常是前面幾句描述謎底單詞的某個或某些字母在哪些單詞中出現或是不出現，最后一句點出詞義，或是為猜謎提供一些暗示和猜測的方向，有點像中文里的謎目。猜英文字謎的關鍵是不要被謎面的含義或是寓意所迷惑，否則的話，很可能誤入它途，不得要領。例如：

1)The beginning of eternity，The end of time and space.The beginning of every end，And the end of every place.將句中提到的單詞“eternity, time, space, end, place”按照字面意思進行拆分，即可得到謎底：“The letter E”。

2)What starts with T，ends with T and full of T？謎底是“A teapot”。teapot(茶壺)一詞以字母T開頭和結尾，而茶壺里裝的自然是茶(tea)，所以是full of T。

3)The longest word in the world.謎底是“smiles”。這個單詞的首字母和尾字母之間是單詞“mile”(英里)，可以理解為首尾間有一英里長，自然就是世界上最長的單詞了。猜這個字謎時，千萬不要去翻詞典去找一個字母最多的單詞。

英文謎語中一個重要的類型是智力謎語，主要涉及一些機智與詼諧的問題(shrewd and witty questions)，謎底通常是語義雙關，和漢語中腦筋急轉彎的問題極為類似，在英語中被稱作“conundrums”。在莎士比亞悲劇《哈姆雷特》第五幕第一場中，兩個專門為死人挖墓穴的工人出了一則智力謎語：What is he that builds stronger than either the mason，the shipwright or the carpenter？意思是誰造出來的東西比泥水匠、船匠或是木匠造的更堅固？謎底是：The gallows-maker，for that frame outlives a thousand tenants.因為絞架比任何一個被吊死其上的死刑犯都存在得長久，所以謎底是“造絞架的人”。莎士比亞用這則謎語告訴人們今日的輝煌遲早會成為過去。猜智力謎語很有意思，也很有挑戰性。破解智力謎語首先要有對語言的悟性及靈活運用的能力，其次是豐富的語言知識，二者缺一不可。英文中，有些智力謎語貌似嚴肅，煞有介事，謎底卻是稀松平常，讓人哭笑不得，大呼上當。例如：

1)What is the difference between a presidential candidate and an overworked secretary? 謎底是“One can't wait to get into office and the other can't wait to get out of the office.”總統候選人(presidential candidate)迫不及待地要上任(get into office)，而工作過度勞累的秘書則期待著下班(get out of the office)回家休息。

2)What is the cheapest way to see the world？

謎底是“Buy an atlas”。買一張地圖(buy an atlas)就可以見到整個世界(see the world)了。而其實see the world作為一個固定詞組時的意思是“見多識廣”。有些貌似簡單，謎底卻耐人尋味。如：

What goes up and never goes down？謎底是“Age”。年齡是永遠向上增長，不可能下降的。

還有一些則語出驚人，出人意料，細細品味倒也幽默風趣，讓人啞然失笑。

例如：

Why should you never marry a tennis player？

謎底是“Because love means nothing to them”。love的通用義是“愛情”，在網球比賽中則表示“零分”。

英文智力謎語中有一類比較難猜，這類謎語是通過篡改英語諺語、成語或名句而形成的，要猜出這些謎語就必須對這些諺語、成語了如指掌，否則，就是絞盡腦汁也未必能猜中。略舉例說明一下：

1)Why shouldn't you cry if a cow slips on the ice? 謎底是“Because it's no use crying over spilt milk.” 英語中成語“覆水難收”是這樣表達的：“It's no use crying over spilt milk.”所以謎底就用成語作一戲言，因為母牛摔在地上，它身上的牛奶也灑了。

2)What's a sculptor's motto? 謎底是“All work and no clay makes Jack a dull boy.”

雕塑師(sculptor)的格言All work and no clay makes Jack a dull boy.(只工作沒有土，聰明孩子也變傻。)是模仿諺語All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.(只工作不玩耍，聰明孩子也變傻。)杜撰而來。

猜英文謎語不是易事，卻是件愉悅身心、讓人覺得很有成就感的事，有其難，亦有其樂。在猜謎的過程中，可以豐富語言知識，提高駕御語言的能力，培養對語言的悟性，同時還可以增加生活的情趣。最后，為了引起大家對英文謎語的興趣，留幾則謎語請大家猜一猜：

I.字謎：

1)There is a thing that is the first to pity and the last to help.2)I am the beginning of sorrow, and the end of sickness.You cannot express happiness without me;

yet I am in the midst of crosses.I am always in risk, yet never in danger.You may find me in the sun，but I am never out of darkness.3)My first is nothing but a name;

My second still more small;

My whole of so much smaller fame，It has no name at all.4)If the English alphabet goes from A to Z, what goes from Z to A?

II.事物謎：

1)At night they come

Without being fetched，And by day they are lost

Without being stolen.2)As round as an apple，As deep as a pail;

It never cries out，Till it's caught by the tail.3)My sides are firmly laced about，Yet nothing is within;

You'll think my head is strange indeed，Being nothing else but skin.4)Over the water，And under the water，And never touch the water.5)I never was, am always to be，No one ever saw me, nor ever will

And yet I am the confidence of all

To live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.III.智力謎:

1)Why are Saturdays and Sundays so strong?

2)swheresdo smart dogs refuse to shop?

3)Would you rather an elephant kill you, or a gorilla?

4)When do elephants have sixteen feet？

5)Which is faster, heat or cold?

6)What's every baby's motto? 答案：

I.字謎：1)The letter P 2)The letter S 3)Nameless 4)Zebra II.事物謎：1)Stars 2)A bell 3)A drum 4)A girl crossing a bridge with a pail of water on her head.5)Tomorrow III.智力謎：

1)Because the rest are weekdays.提示：weekdays的意思是“工作日”，而week(星期)和weak(弱的)是一對同音異義詞。

2)At flea markets.提示：flea market的意思是“跳蚤市場”(經營廉價古物、舊貨等的露天市場)。謎底把flea market曲解為“跳蚤的市場”，聰明的狗可不愿長跳蚤，自然不愿去有跳蚤的市場。

3)I'd rather he kill the gorilla.提示：謎面可以有兩種解釋。第一種是“你希望大象殺死你，還是大猩猩殺死你？”第二種解釋是“你希望大象殺死你，還是殺死大猩猩？”

4)When there are four of them.提示：因為四只大象(four elephants)有十六條腿。

5)Heat.You can catch cold.提示：catch cold的意思是“患感冒”，字面意思是“抓住冷”，但是從來沒人說catch heat。

6)If at first you don't succeed, cry, cry again.提示：孩子的格言If at first you don't succeed, cry, cry again.(一次哭鬧不成功，哭鬧再哭鬧)是模仿諺語If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.(一次不成功，努力再努力)杜撰而來。
